In addition to Danzo, everyone else - whether it is the third generation or the senior management, is happy to see the success of this cooperation.

After all, no matter how much they negotiate, they will not lose.

And because it involves the settlement of big businesses, the feedback from Sunagakure Village is far more positive than expected.

Almost as soon as Ugetsu decided on the front end, the Third Kazekage personally took the initiative.

‘A visit from the shadow of a village’ is a major event for Konoha.

Although many people came to the previous sugar-thin competition, after all, they were only the elite jounin who led the team, and it was not an official visit, so the issue of 'reception' was not involved.

But ‘shadow’ is different.

Whatever the reason, having Kage go to another shinobi village is a top priority for both villages.

Therefore, almost the entire Konoha was mobilized.

Those who clean the house clean the house, and those who clean up the gangsters and evildoers - although there is nothing "black" in the ninja's village, the evil is just the "street bully" who fights in small ways.

No matter how big or small, they were all caught in one fell swoop this time.

Don’t say ‘evil’ anymore. You can’t even see anyone who speaks more viciously.

Almost the entire Konoha is cleaning up the city's appearance, trying to show the most prosperous and powerful side of Konoha to the Third Kazekage.

Inspections and cleaning efforts have also been stepped up in some areas and streets that are not usually involved. Under the auspices of Namikaze Minato, many 'minor troubles' that had troubled people in the past were also solved.

The happiness of Konoha villagers has also greatly increased.

——It is true that the eaves are leaking, the road at the door is uneven, water easily accumulates at the corners, and there are always mice in the warehouse. Small problems such as this do not affect life.

But solving them will also give people a sense of joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Suddenly, the happiness of the Konoha villagers surged to the extreme.

As for Ugetsu Store, which is the top priority, Konoha is even planning to give it a major renovation - not to mention the interior, at least the exterior will need to be renovated.

It doesn’t matter if expensive decoration materials are used, the cards must stand up anyway.

Although the building where the Ugetsu Store is located is not considered dilapidated (after all, Konoha has not been built for hundreds of years), as one of the older buildings in Konoha, coupled with the long-term neglect of the surface, it is inevitable that it will become obsolete.

However, in the face of Konoha's sincere opinion, Ugetsu decisively refused. She did not let anyone renovate it completely, but only asked them to help clean up the inside and outside during the night when the business was closed.

Some damaged areas on the surface were repaired, and then the road surface was reorganized.

It’s not that the roads here are bad, it’s just that the roads far away from the city center inevitably have problems with insufficient maintenance, and it’s time to solve them now.

Although Ugetsu's request was not small, it still surprised Kakashi.

He even looked at Ugetsu with suspicious eyes——

In his mind, Miss Ugetsu didn't let them tear down the house and rebuild it in two days, so she was letting them go. How could she just let them clean it up once?

After all, that was Miss Ugetsu.

Miss Ugetsu, who doesn't even spare a drop of extra physical strength and energy to them every day.

Could it be that someone pretended to be someone else?

"What's that look in your eyes?"

Noticing Kakashi's gaze, Ugetsu raised his head while settling accounts.

"We don't talk about class or seniority here. If you have any questions, just ask them directly."

The young man didn't expect that his attitude had become so obvious. He looked away in embarrassment. But he still couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart.

"Then...that's what I said?"

"Say it."

"Why didn't Ms. Ugetsu agree to let them renovate the house? It's not like your...ah, I mean, you don't have to pay extra anyway, isn't it good to get a new house?"

so close.

Hatake Kakashi swallowed.

I almost said what I really meant.

...Miss Ugetsu probably didn’t notice it.

Yuyue:...It’s weird if you don’t understand.

It's just that she is too lazy to worry about such a trivial matter.

How can a qualified and tolerant boss care about his employees' slips of the tongue?

Ah, I have to remember to tell Shisui later.

Give Kakashi more rotations.

I have time to think about this, but it seems that my job is too easy.

He has to be wound up.

Young people cannot be so relaxed.

Thinking about the arrangement in his mind, Ugetsu answered Hatake Kakashi's question without stopping talking:

"Have you ever thought about how much business a complete renovation will delay?"

"There are so many things to sort out in the store, how busy are we just here? Besides, have you ever seen any century-old store with a shiny new appearance?"

Of course, the main reason is that Yuyue doesn't feel the need to take advantage of this.

It's great to have free sex, but free sex also comes with time.

She and Konoha are not equal to each other now, so agreeing at this time is a small gain at the expense of others, and it is easy for the other party to look down upon her.

When the relationship between two people is not equal, this is not "free prostitution", but "accepting charity". It is equivalent to putting oneself in a weak position that needs to be taken care of.

Once this understanding is established, even if Konoha considers itself a 'protector' or even a 'ruler' and is always available to her, it will be difficult for her to refute it.

If you're just seeking a refuge, there's nothing wrong with that—even a good thing.

But what Ugetsu wants is not a low-level status that says, "You can't live without someone to protect you."

What she wants to do is to be on an equal footing with these people.

Besides, it's not like she can't run the business without renovations.

But these are issues on another level, and have little to do with ninjas like Kakashi.

Hatake Kakashi nodded along with the first few sentences because they made sense, but he was confused by the last sentence:

"Hundred, a century-old store?"

Did he remember it wrong or is Miss Ugetsu crazy?

He clearly remembered that this shop had only been in Konoha for a few years.

That’s even counting the time when it was a humble shop.

If I only talk about Miss Ugetsu, it would be even shorter.

Not to mention a century-old store, it's probably better than Full Moon.

Ugetsu looked at Hatake Kakashi and shook his head. He couldn't help but said seriously: "Kakashi, you can't just look at things by their appearance."

Kakashi Hatake: ...What else? What else should I look at? Skeletons? That has to be there.

He really couldn't understand the inevitable connection between the three things of 'century-old store', 'Ugetsu Store' and 'he shouldn't just look at the appearance'.

"We need to take a long-term view of things and think deeply - isn't there any century-old store that didn't start from the first year?"

…Of course, everything starts from the first year.

But what does this have to do with the ‘hundred-year-old store’ you mentioned?

"But what does this have to do with what we're talking about?" The silver-haired boy often felt out of place because he couldn't keep up with the thinking of other people in Ugetsu Shop.

Yuyue said confidently: "Of course, it's a big deal. We are now building a century-old store from scratch. Although this year is only the first year, we can also say that this is the founding year of the century-old store, the first year.

ah!"

The young man's face under the mask was shocked.

——Is this okay?

Can this be understood?

However, she hasn't finished her words yet:

"Everything we do now is groundbreaking for Ugetsu Store and the world, and will have historical significance in the future."

"Each project is also a brand-new project that can bring changes to the world - look at the work we are doing now, which one is not very popular and popular? This proves that as long as we work hard,

If you work hard, you can create new sales miracles again and again."

"Doesn't a store like this still have hope of becoming a century-old store?"

Kakashi: Of course there is.

"As a person who can participate in this and have the opportunity to create a century-old store from scratch, aren't you excited? Don't you feel that you should work harder and rely on your own hands to strive for this goal?"
